As some 50,000 residents of villages on both sides of the Thai-Cambodia border flee their homes, fighting continues for a sixth consecutive day in the restive Dangrek mountain region.

Negotiations over the disputed area, home to several ancient temples, appear to have broken down, with Thai officials reportedly refusing to attend talks in Cambodia.

Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay, reporting from Korat, says that each side is blaming the other for the rising tension.
